The official World Championships in Sensible World of Soccer 96-97 played on:PC / Amiga

Introduction

The Sensible Days must go on! This time the world championship of SWOS will take place in Billund, Denmark. This will be the 15th edition held in the series of the World Cup. A remarkable story in itself, of what started out with just a few players meeting in Pirmasens, is now an ongoing international tradition for many years. We see players travel great distances to play their beloved game and meet with their fellow SWOS friends. During the weekend of 21/22 of July 2018, we will find out who will be crowned as World Champion of SWOS in both PC and Amiga. Along with the 2 main tournaments, a couple of small side-events and cups will also happen.

The tournaments are open to anyone, but a pre-payment is mandatory to join the event! This is done to ensure better organizing possibilities, arranging of groups & seedings, amount of equipment needed, getting the right amount of food & drinks etc.

If you have any questions regarding the event, feel free to contact the organizers. Contact info is listed below.

Location info & tournament fee

This event will take place at the same location as the world cup in 2014. It is a very suitable place for the event, placed just outside of Billund called 'Grenelejren'. No problems with noise pollution, 44 beds and plenty of room around the house if you want to be a happy camper. A couple of shelters are also present at the location. It is very easy to come by car, and for people arriving at the Billund Airport by plane, we will arrange pick-ups. The location has all we need for the weekend, and the food will be a mix of traditional danish food. The food and drinks will be an all-in-one package. Drinks are flatrate, and there will be 3 main meals during one day. Along with this we will buy some snacks, and make it possible to make toast sandwiches in between the big meals. A total of 8 meals will be available for the people who join all weekend.

Beds are divided in 7 different rooms. 4 smaller rooms with 2/3/3/3 = 11 beds. And 3 larger rooms with 9/9/15 = 33 bunkbeds. Because of this we have decided to modify prices after what solution you like. A small overview of the house can be found here

Players ranked top 4 in the groups are still in the tournament, while the rest can play the optional fun cup known as onion/cucumber tournament.> 2nd Group stage will decide seedings for the knockout rounds which will consist of a Master group (group winners), Super group (runner-ups) and 2nd chance groups (3rd and 4th positions from 1st group stage.> KO rounds, played as DIY cup

Players are placed in groups by drawing from pots made from placements on the ss.de offline / online rankings by the SWOS veterans and organizers.
